Willy, I have not yet attempted the upgrade so unfortunately I have no advice. I am thinking about doing a complete package removal of all previous versions and reinstalling 3.5.9. I only have 8 users, so it's no big deal for them to re-enter their passwords, as long as I back up smb.conf.

There is a file called group_mapping.tdb.upgraded although the file group_mapping.tdb is missing. Samba complains about the missing file and stops working upon smbclien -L localhost: protocol negotiation failed: NT_STATUS_PIPE_BROKEN. >From the log.smbd: <snip> [2011/07/12 11:03:16, 0] lib/util_tdb.c:tdb_log(664) tdb(/var/db/samba/group_mapping.tdb): tdb_reopen: open failed (No such file or directory) [2011/07/12 11:03:16, 0] lib/util.c:reinit_after_fork(3319) tdb_reopen_all failed.

I already asked for help on this list, but without any success so far. I wonder if you were succesful with the upgrade? -- Met vriendelijke groeten, With kind regards, Mit freundlichen Gruessen, Willy ************************************* W.K.
